RIDDEN-ON RIDE 2010 February 21, 2010 Ridden-On Ride 2007 Photo courtesy of the Advertiser The term ridden-on is used to describe a rider who has died or passed on. Usually while riding his motorcycle. In the past year many of us have been touched by the passing of those special to us. On February 18, 2007, the MRA held it's inaugural Ridden-On Ride to remember our lost friends, family and loved ones. We were especially blessed by the support of the community to this cause. There was strong support from the media, especially The Sunday Mail, Advertiser and Channel Ten. We thank you for your interest. We also appreciate the support from SAPOL and the Motorcycle officer who helped out on the day. We also acknowledge the well wishers who gathered on the footpaths on the route to wave and support us. And lastly but not least, to all the riders who joined in on the event both motorcyclist and scooter riders, who dug deep and provided funds for the 4B's and the Royal Adelaide Hospital, we thank you! Due to the unanimous support and encouragement of this event in 2007, 2008 and 2009 we will hold the 2010 event on February 21. For 2010, we are allowing cars to follow the riders This will allow those who don't ride to join in with this event. Please advise an organiser on the day if you have a car. Please tell your friends and mark it in your dairies. The Ridden-Ride will mob up at the Victoria Hotel Car Park, Main South Road, O'Halloran Hill at 9.30 am for a 10.00am ride off. Please be ready to move your machine at exactly 10.00 am as SAPOL will control our exit from the car park. We gather at this location to remember Wendy Van Gasteren and TJ Maxwell who collided at O'Halloran Hill. Their demise sent ripples through the riding community and many riders demanded we remember them. From here we will ride to Second Valley where we stop to say a prayer and remember those precious to us all. From here we will ride Delamere Road to Victor Harbor where we hope riders will share memories and remember better times with other riders. We hope to have ministers and councillors available if anyone needs to "talk". Click icon to open list in a new window Simon will be our minister and say the prayer on the day. He would like to include the names of people special to those on the day. Please email Simon by clicking here! We are pleased to announce that the Royal Flying Doctor Service will receive the proceeds from our 2010 event. Please note: You do not have to ride the event to buy a badge. The RFDS helps many injured riders by transporting them to hospital. We encourage you to help this cause. The MRA has a different policy with these badges. On the day after Toy Run all existing stock of the current year will be destroyed! Hence, if you want to collect these badges you will need to buy one during the current year!
